Drivers Window Issue

[Firstsealord]

My drivers window when putting it back up goes halfway then shoots back down, it does this about two to three times then goes up on fourth attempt but it doesn't have this issue all the time. I thought about disconnecting the battery to give electronics a reboot but i don't have a code for the radio if one is required so i'm put off doing this just in case. I have done the resetting method of putting window fully down then up holding the switch longer but still having the same problem. The car has a few gremlins it appears as the interior light sometimes comes on by it's self also, any help or advice would be gratefully received

Jaguar XF 08 plate

Hi Gary, A common problem with the early XF is the window cables inside the doors go slack allowing the window to tilt slightly which causes the anti trap sensor to auto lower the window. Slack cables are usually accompanied by an annoying rattle. Or perhaps the window channel rubber seals are worn or damaged? You could try some washing-up liquid to lubricate any tight spots.

As for the interior light I don't have a clue? Unless you have a unknown passenger in the form of something like a big hairy arthropod .

Thanks for the info as the window does have an annoying knock so will look at the cables as for the passenger he can keep me company on my long journeys haha👍

Suggest before dismantling, To prove or disprove? Give the window switch the merest of flicks down as not to open but just to take up any slack in the cables..Then drive for a week or so.
